STEP 2- To access the passenger’s airbag module, the complete instrument panel assembly must be
removed. Follow the procedures in the applicable Service Manual for removing the instrument panel
assembly in addition to the necessary related interior trim components.
NOTE: When removing the “A” pillar trim, be VERY CAREFUL not to damage the upper metal
retaining clip. The clip is located just below where the trim panel meets the head liner. If the metal
retaining clip becomes damaged or separated from the trim panel, the trim panel MUST be replaced
as the clip is not available separately. Use a plastic trim tool to push and release the upper portion of
the metal clip from the body. Be careful to not pull the trim panel open any further than necessary
to gain access for releasing the clip. There is a plastic retaining clip in the lower portion of the trim
panel which will release easily once the upper retaining clip is loose. At reassembly and using a
plastic trim tool, make sure the inner lip of the door weatherstrip overlaps the outer fabric edge of the
trim panel to help secure it.
Once the instrument panel assembly has been removed from the vehicle, CAREFULLY release the
retaining claws and separate the airbag bag module.

REMINDER: It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED the removed airbag module ALWAYS be
mounted to the Airbag Deployment Fixture (part number J-39401-B and file photo shown below) to
better secure it during the inflator replacement procedure. When mounting the module to the fixture,
pay close attention to the harness routing. Always perform this work in an area away from others
to reduce chances of inadvertent injury should any deployment occur. Take your surroundings into
account to avoid possible hazards should an inadvertent deployment occur or sources of static or
other electricity that could potentially induce such a deployment.
STEP 3- Remove the harness tube from the retainer bracket holders.
STEP 4- Using a scissor or wire cutter (no knives or razors) CAREFULLY cut the black harness
cover tube (approximately 1 1/2 inches) enough to expose the blue and white wires inside and
provide enough room to install the Electro-Tap (shorting) connector.
TAKE YOUR TIME AND BE CAREFUL TO NOT CUT THE 2 WIRES!
Continued...
Bulletin Number: TKA-20R / TKB-20R / TKC-20R; Revised: 01/15/19
Page 22 of 48
STEP 5- Short the white and blue wires together by installing the Electro-Tap connector. The
connector creates a short circuit which acts as a safeguard to prevent against static discharge that may
deploy the removed inflator. The tab portion of the Electro-Tap connector MUST be cut off prior to
use to insure a good short-circuit is made as shown in the illustration below. Follow the sequence
below for installing the Electro-Tap connector. Use pliers to squeeze closed the two sections of the
connector together, one section at a time.
STEP 6- Once the Electro-Tap connector is fully crimped in place, cut the white and blue wires on
the body harness connector side of the Electro-Tap connector.

STEP 7- Loosen and remove the four (4) 10mm self-locking nuts and discard them.
VERY IMPORTANT: Under no circumstances should any impact or power tools be used when
performing these procedures. HAND TOOLS ONLY!
NOTE: NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE HARNESS CONNECTORS FROM THE
INFLATOR!
STEP 8- With the self-locking nuts removed, slide the original inflator out of the mounting bracket.
Place the removed original air bag inflator back into the “cradle” of the Kit Box insert.
STEP 9 - VERY IMPORTANT: Record the 11-digit alpha-numeric serial number for both the
new Type 2 and the original Type 1 inflators on the hard copy of the Repair Order. For SOA and
SDC Retailers ONLY, this information will be required for claim approval. For SNE retailers, this
information will be required for completion of the Part Return Notice which will be forwarded by the
retailer to the PCC.

STEP 12- Install the new Stopper Plate (A) onto the mounting bracket.
Stopper Plate (A)
STEP 13- Install the new inflator into the mounting bracket with the short pink collar end toward
the new Stopper Plate (A). Align the protrusion on the end of the collar with the notch in the stopper
plate. There is also a tab on the inside of Stopper Plate (A) which will align with the notch in the end
of the collar. When properly installed the collar will be tight against the plate with no gap.
IMPORTANT: Do not peel the white harness connection dust cover at this time.
Continued...
Bulletin Number: TKA-20R / TKB-20R / TKC-20R; Revised: 01/15/19
Page 26 of 48
STEP 14- Install the original stopper plate onto the opposite end of the mounting bracket / inflator in
the same manner as described in STEP 13 above. Rotate the inflator as needed to insure there is no
gap between the collar and stopper plate. NOTE: Stopper plates only fit one way as their holes are
offset.
STEP 15- Reinstall the 4 NEW self-locking nuts. SLOWLY tighten (to prevent over-tightening)
then torque the nuts to 31-38 inch-pounds. When complete, use a marker to indicate they have been
fully tightened.
STEP 16- The new inflator wiring harness has 2 “sides” with 2-pin connectors on both ends. The
side with the black harness tube goes with the black inflator connector and the other side (yellow
harness tube) will connect to the orange connector. The end of the inflator aligned with the new
Stopper Plate (A) will have a black harness connector while the connector on the opposite end of the
inflator will be orange. This makes it impossible to install the harness backwards as the tangs (shown
in Step 17) are also in different positions.
BEFORE connecting the harness to the inflator, make sure the harness is not twisted as shown below.
Continued...
Bulletin Number: TKA-20R / TKB-20R / TKC-20R; Revised: 01/15/19
Page 27 of 48
STEP 17- Peel off one white dust cover and CAREFULLY align the tang of the new harness
connector with the receiving slot in the inflator connector. This assures proper routing of the harness
in relation to the airbag assembly mounting bracket.
IMPORTANT: NEVER PEEL BOTH THE WHITE DUST COVERS OFF AT THE SAME TIME!
STEP 18- After connecting both sides of the harness, refit the harness cover tube back into the
mounting brackets.
VERY IMPORTANT: After connecting the new harness to the inflator, both sides MUST be
routed as shown in the “New Harness Properly Installed” photo below.
